2
A visual display of the relationship between two numerical variables. SCATTERPLOTS
3
ANALYSING SCATTERPLOTS
4
SCATTERPLOT GALLERY POSITIVE RELETIONSHIP
5
NEGATIVE RELATIONSHIP
6
PERFECT LINEAR RELATIONSHIP
7
NO LINEAR RELATIONSHIP
8
DESCRIBE THIS CORRELATION
9
SCATTERPLOT Decide whether or not a relationship exists between the variables and, if it does, comment on whether it is positive or negative; weak, moderate or strong: and whether or not it has a linear form

EXAMPLE

There is a formula, but r is often done using CAS calculator. There are two limitations when using r: 1. Since r measures the strength of a linear relationship, it would be inappropriate to calculate r for data which are not linear. 2. Outliers can bias the value of r. Therefore, it will make it an unreliable measure of the strength of that linear relationship. CALCULATING R AND THE COEFFICIENT OF DETERMINATION WE MUST DRAW A SCATTERPLOT FIRST IN ORDER TO CHECK FOR A LINEAR FORM BEFORE r IS CALCULATED
